UNITED `STATES Till k MOLD.

Application filed January To all whom, t may cof/wem.' Be it known that I, MANDUs HAnsom-a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Muskegon, in the county of Muskegon and State of Michigan, have invented lnew and useful Improvements in Molds, of which thel following is ay specification.

The present invention relates to.molds; aud its object is to provide in connection with av mold (or molding flask-) improved means for guiding the parts thereof in' their assembling and disassembling movements.

This and any other and more specific objects hereinafter appearing are attained by,

the invention ment in, the structure hereinafter particularly described in the body of this specificasurfaces llat their'opposite side edges an tion and illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a top plan flask;

Figure 2 1s a side view thereof;

Figure 3 is atop plan view of the guid-'I ing means thereof, `partially sectioned axially; f j

Figure 4 is a top plan view of a portion of saidvguiding means, partially sectioned axially; and Y Y Figure 5 is a face view of said guiding means mounted on the endv of the flask. I

In the accompanying drawings, a mold'V or flask is shown Ycomprising any upper part 2A andv anA intermed1ate`part l, a loweiipart (the separating plate) 3. Eachof parts 1 and2 comprises connected side walls 4'Y and endl walls 5, one end'wall and fone sideV wall' being hingedly connected at 6 andthe other walls beingdetachably connected by the' latch 7 in thekusual manner Aas shown'in Figures 1 `and 2. The lowerpart or 'frame 2 carries at its opposite ends the upwardly eX- bars 8, these bars being tending guiding flanges 9 secured to part provided with base 2vby screws 10. These bars-have guiding d through both slots.

other guiding-surfaces12 in their faces, the

surfaces 1,1"being thus angularly disposed in a horizontal plane relatively to the surfaces 12, i. e.,'at approximatelyright angles there f to. lThe intermediate 'part 3, which separates parts 1 and 2 is provided atl each end with a' plate" 13 movable in all horizontal directions by reason of its slots 14 being disposed at right angles to the slots 15 through the part 3, the connecting bolts 16 passing through botil) slots and being threaded to plate l13.

literallyv movable in' the opening 23 through 1 finds preferable embodi-v view of a molding relatively to these guiding bars.

- receive the nuts 17` `whereby the plate may be secured or clamped in 'adjustedv positions.

A member 18 hasv a surface 19 slidably guided in the guiding surface 12 ofthe bar 8, in the assembling and disassembling movements of parts 2 and 3, and has a Aball-portion 20 turnable ina ball-socket,V 21 in the This member 18 has a shank 22 the plate.v and threaded to receive the nut v24' wherebyy this member 18 may be clamped in vdesired turned position, with thel concavo-convex washer 25' between the nut and plate. 4

The upper frame or part 1 carries at each'y end a plate 26 secured thereto as by screws 27'. Socket-carrying blocks 28 are turnably mounted at 29 on-:this plate and have ball-sockets. Members 31 arev may be clamped on said blocks, the blocks turned yabout their pivotal having been to proper position. krlhe turnmountings 29 ing down of 29 serves to hold these members 31 in proper adjustment; or said members may beheld in adjustment bythe screws 41 threaded in flanges 42 of the plate 26 andrabutting on the'outer ends of these members, and also adapted to swing the unclamped blocks 28 into vproper position.

The concave-convex washer 43 is shown.

clamped'between the nut 38 and the block 28; These blocks 28 may be moved in all horizontal directions by. reason of their slots 44 being disposed at right anglesto the slots 45KV through the'plate 26, the bolts 29 passing slidably guided atv theirsurfaces 32 lon the oppo-y the nuts 40 on saidmountings'v 18'and 31, slidably guided alongl the guid-v ing bars 8, may be adjusted in Vevery way 13 and the blocks 28 maybe moved in every horizontal direction transversely to the bars 8; the blocks 28 may be swung 0n their pivotal mountin'gs 29 to carry their ball-sockets 35 nearery to lor farther from the guiding bars; and the'members 18, 31 may be thus moved towardgand away from said bars;

The plates CII these meliibers may be turned in the ballsockets about the axes of said members and may be swung in all planes in which their axes lie.

It will also be seen that the members 18 slidingly contact the guiding bars at right' angles to the contacting; of the members- 31 with these bars.
